Be it known that I, JOHN BLAIR, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Brush Bridle or Binder, of which the The accompanying drawing represents a perspective view of my improved brush bridle or binder as applied to a paint-brush.

The object of my invention is to provide a ti glitly-fittin g and quickly-adj usted brush bridle or binder for bindingon the upper part of the bristles near or partly on the ferrule.

The invention consists of one continuous piece of soft rubber, which is attached securely by a cylindrical band in the bristles below or partly on the ferrule, and by connectin g the perforated yoke part to the ferrule and handle, the ferrule having side openings, which allow the head of the brush to be grasped.

In the drawing, A represents my improved which is slipped over the brush-handle by its centrally-perforated yoke part B until it is seated at thebase of the'same on the bristle-ferrule. The yoke B 165,202, dated July 6, 1875; application filed connects by its side pieces B over the ferrule to the. cylindrical main part 0 of the bridle, which is made in one continuous piece therewith, fitting tightly around the bristles below the ferrule, and binding firmly, yet yielding thereon, so as to prevent the paint from rising elasticity and efficacy.
